sexually assaulting her. that teacher is serving an 8-year sentence. then another student was allegedly raped by the same science teacher in 1990, was brave enough to write to the school district detailing that abuse in 1994, even gave her name as her phone number and then she learned that letter was basically ignored. so she realized if the district had done the things it was supposed to when it learned of the prior incidents one of her attackers would not have been around when she attended the same school. >> that letter just broke my heart. i felt like first of all i felt really proud of whoever that girl is, then second of all i felt like what happened to me could have been stopped. and i want kids to feel like if they are unsafe that they say something that something will happen. >> the lawsuit alleges negligence, conspiracy to commit fraud and intentional infliction

15 miles to the east, talking about a 20-degree jump so. the onshore flow is starting to win out and helping to drop numbers but livermore, you're one of the warmest. let's look outside new. we're going to get a few views in san jose, the haze is thick. high pressure aloft helping to compress a lot of the air that is relatively dirty in the south bay and the pollen increasing. no storm activity but it looks like it. in san francisco and it is a fog storm now. we have that same area of high pressure that's producing the haze in the south bay, compressing down the marine layer. that's why we could have airport delays tonight and maybe drizzle at the coast. the next 48 hours, this area of high pressure, this is the culprit for all of this wild and wacky weather. not only some hot air with high pressure but offshore winds that will drive a lot of our heat not only for the interior valleys but the coastline b. a three-day

event for us as we head into friday, saturday and sunday. i'll bring a few 70s at the coast. sunshine by the afternoon. from 80 by the bay to 90s for the valley. the heat spiking up throughout friday. your hour by hour fog future cast, off coastline but by afternoon we're looking at a clearer and quicker burn-off of that fog than we had for today. therefore, temperatures warmer. 54 in los gatos and 54 in the almaden valley. highs on thursday similar here in the south bay with 84 in san jose. 89 gilroy, 86 in los gatos. for the east bay a few of you will be hotter. like well, livermore. 90 for you. 87 pleasanton. and 86 in dublin, 85 in the castro valley. so up a couple of degrees. not majorly hot thursday. low 80s santa rosa. 70s in san francisco.

74 in oakland and 60s at the coast. on the three-day forecast, you'll notice by friday and saturday we're going to start to go up inland also at the coast, then as we head into sunday looks like the hottest day on the seven-day forecast. we'll be close to 100 degrees as the offshore winds set up. so may be a cool day like we have highlighted. fire danger will increase. we have a red flag fire warning. by next wednesday a few showers will be near or off shore. not putting the right icon on there yet but it may be our first fall rain. >> you ready for this? >> ready or not it's coming my way. >> i'm all keyed up. >> thank you. what's the real problem between the nfl and the locked out referees? apparently it's $5 million a year. a $5 million difference for the billion-dollar industry the nfl. doesn't seem like much. we look into the finances.

here is sam brock with our reality check. >> the final play. loft in the end zone. >> the nfl replacement ref saga played out on a national stage monday when the refs botched a call that cost the packers a victory. fans are clamoring for the league to pay its officials and move on. the nfl raked in $9.3 billion last year, where'd that come from? it's a combination of things. massive tv contracts, to advertising and sponsorship deals and tingts and game day expenses. let's put this in the terms that any football fan could relate to. you know a football field is 100 yards in length. say this football field represents the 9 billion that the nfl made. the 5 milliony that are fighting over is represented by this sliver. less than two inches.

how much can a referee make? one took in $8700 bucks a game, 140,000 to $150,000 a year. the nfl says it's offered a deal that would raise pay to $200,000 a year by 2018. >> you may think nfl referees should make $200,000 a year with a full pension or you might not. it's a subjective discussion. but our finances really driving the wedge between the league and its refs? the numbers suggest not likely. sam brock, nbc bay area. >> let's turn things over to henry who joins us live from the sport nets newsroom. talking about the giants. >> absolutely. a lot going on. the san francisco giants don't believe in crying over split milk. andrew broke the story that suspended outfielder melky cabrera will not be part of the
